Inspiration
This past summer we went camping in Dunvegan. By the time we got the tent set up and some lunch cooked the skies had opened and we were completely drenched. My soggy kids eating their soggy veggie dogs in our soggy tent looked pretty sad. Luckily my dad was staying down the road in this beautiful house. Jody and I fell in love with it as soon as we pulled up. We had been trying to decide what we wanted our new house to look like. That is, we were trying to decide which version of the Cape Breton Farmhouse to build. This is a somewhat dressed up version often called Carpenter Gothic. This particular house belongs to friends of my dad, the Mancini family, and is over 200 years old. We're adding porches and changing the layout a bit but this is a pretty close approximation of what our house will look like.
